    So I was prescribed the normal Testosterone Cypionate 10ml 200mg/ml and it said on the script 10qty. He initially injected 400mg for day 1, a shot from his own vial at his office, before I got my script, then after I picked up my script and had my insurance cover it, I was told to inject 2cc or 200mg once every 2 weeks, I inject them myself no problems. Now I know this is on the low side, but I see his reasoning. I was also prescribed arimidex after I complained a bit about the sore nipples 3 weeks into it, although I only was taking .25 every other day for about a week, the stuff kept me wide awake I could not sleep on it. So I stopped it, and about a week and half after the sore nipples went away on their own... not sure why.Probably because I was on the high/low side of the scale... 300 on my test. Now I currently don't have free testosterone numbers with me, and don't remember them unfortunately.

    So the day he gave me the first shot, I weighed 154, and my wifi withings scale said I was around 8-10% bf I usually add 2% over, that thing can't be really trusted, especially when I see the bit of fat around my waist. Now over the past year before all this TRT, I put myself on a strict diet with all the trimmings greens, proteins, and eating 6 times a day. I also did an average of 4-5 day cardio run of only around 2-3 miles, and some working out. So the weight came off from 183-152 at my lowest, this was over a 3 1/2 month period. So I felt great somewhat but I knew I lost muscle with this, I looked pretty skinny at this point.

    So my weight on July 2nd day of my first shot was 154, as of today I am 174, and the withings scale says 7%bf. I was still running a bit, but less only 3 times a week at around 2 miles, and I started lifting... Not crazy lifting but lifting to the point of getting sore each time, not anymore though. So thats why I am wondering what I am doing wrong, I pin about 350mg to 400mg once every 10 days, I am not splittling it up. But sounds like I should. I think my body being skinny at the time responded really well to any dose of Testosterone at that point so I made quick gains. But now, I feel like I have plateaued. Apologize for the long read.

    Don't run 350 OR 400 mg. Pick one and stay consistant. Keeping blood levels level is important which is why you also should inject every 3.5 days. Will one a week or 10 days work yes, but you will have highs and lowes which is not good.
